Whether it’s jamming to tunes as you hit the road or listening to some tracks while we enjoy a local cup of joe — we’re big fans of music that gives Columbia vibes. Sometimes that means the music is produced by a local singer-songwriter, and other times it’s because a song’s lyrics mention Columbia or SC.

Since summertime is upon us and we love a sun-soaked dance party moment, we’d like your help adding to our Soda City Hits: Summer Road Trip playlist.

Here are some of the tracks we have so far:

What songs should we add? Tell us your recommendations + stay tuned — we’ll be dropping the updated playlist in an upcoming newsletter.
